  3. Step 3: REG-21 filed

    Timeline: Day 5-7

Everything included in GST Revocation

All pending returns filed

Interest and late fee calculated upfront

What could go wrong with GST Revoke

30-day window - no second chance

  • REG-21 must be filed within 30 days of cancellation order.
  • Miss it and you must appeal to the Appellate Authority - longer, more expensive, requires specific grounds.
  • Ollvy CA treats every revocation as urgent from day one.

All pending returns must be cleared first

  • Department will not process REG-21 until every GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B is filed and tax with interest paid.
  • 6 months of missed returns = significant late fees.
  • Ollvy CA files all pending returns before submitting REG-21.

Cannot invoice until restored

  • Your GSTIN is invalid until restored. Invoices raised on a cancelled GSTIN cannot be used by clients to claim ITC.
  • Legal exposure for issuing invoices on cancelled registration.
